The Hope Centre
As Christians, we believe we need to follow Jesus in how we live. Jesus befriended and helped people whatever their circumstances, condition or background; spent time with those who ‘had no voice’ or were on ‘the fringe of society’ and brought hope to those with little or no hope. Following Jesus’ example, we want to bring hope to our community. This is the work of The Hope Centre.
The Hope Centre works with the homeless, addicts and people affected by poverty. We help by providing a warm, welcoming, and relaxed meeting place where they can enjoy a hot meal, have a wash, or do their washing. We also aim to help people change their lives, so they can take their place back in society.
We aim to give love, acceptance and friendship to all, by offering practical help and support and, where appropriate, advice. It’s about ‘being there’ and being there consistently and without judgement.
If you’d like to know more about the work of The Hope Centre, or how you can help (both practically and financially), please Contact Us.
Alpha Course
We aim to run the Alpha Course at least two times a year.
Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over approximately ten thought-provoking weekly sessions.
We’re planning to hold an Alpha Course in Autumn/Winter 2008, so if you’d like to know more please contact us, come along to the Alpha Introductory Supper or go to the Alpha website.
